Abstract

A heat absorption system having a first absorption circuit for operation at a first temperature range and a second absorption circuit for operation at a second temperature range, the temperature range of the second absorption circuit having a lower maximum temperature relative to the first temperature range of the first absorption circuit. The first absorption circuit includes a first circuit generator, a first circuit condenser, and a first circuit absorber operatively connected together. The second absorption circuit includes a second circuit generator, a second circuit condenser, and a second circuit absorber operatively connected together. A common evaporator is operatively connected to each of the first circuit condenser and the second circuit condenser and is in heat exchange communication with an external heat load. The first circuit condenser and the first circuit absorber are in heat exchange communication with the second circuit generator.
